Currende sings the Responsoria with emotion and full of passion. To keep the touching harmonic aspects of Gesualdo’s music over the full length of the program an instrumental ensemble of 3 viols and 2 BANDONIONS (!) plays some of Gesualdo’s madrigals in between the different parts of the Responsoria.
It is highly surprising how the sound of the two groups of instruments interfere each other.
This is Currende’s way to commemorate the four-hundredth anniversary of Gesualdo’s death.
Disposition: 10 singers (whereof 5 soloists), 3 viols, 2 bandonions.

2013 Duarte Lobo

7 Jun 2012

Last year Currende performed the double choir music of Duarte Lobo in Antwerp cathedral with huge success. It was a program commissioned by the Laus Polyphoniae festival.
The program, which was really a kind of impressionant ‘night music’, became one big 17th century entity with organ, 4 strings (2 renaissance violins and 2 viols), soloists and choir.
Because of the big interest Currende wants to repeat this concert. It’s performance was too beautiful and impressing.
The board of Currende is looking for the resources to make a recording of this remarkable program.
